(Cl. 21S-33) 18 Claims. l

This invention relates to tape applying devices and more particularly to devices or tools for applying pressure sensitive adhesive tape though it is noted that in most of the claims the invention is not limited to any specic tape.

Objects of the invention are to provide an improved tape applying device of this kind which greatly facilitates applying tape around small bundles of wires or formed coils of wire and is particularly suitable for applying bands of tape around stator or rotor coils of electric motors or generators.

Other objects of the invention are to provide an improved conveniently supported and handled tool of this kind for applying tape around such coils while the coils are disposed on the winding reels or coilers or other supports, and to provide a tool in which the tape to be applied may be easily placed in the magazine of the tool and threaded to the applying part f the tool.

Additional objects of the invention are to effect simplicity and efciency in such tools and to provide an extremely simple rugged tool of this kind which is convenient, eiiicient and reliable in operation, and economical to manufacture.

Still other objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds; and while herein details of the invention are described in the specification and some of the claims, the invention as described in the broader -claims is not limited to these, and many and various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed in the broader claims.

The inventive features for the accomplishment of these and other objects are shown herein in connection with a tape applying tool which briey stated, includes upper and lower hinged sections forming a magazine adapted to receive a roll of adhesive tape and an arm joining the magazine and having therethrough a passage adapted to receive tape with the adhesive side up. A transverse roller mounted on the arm extends slightly below the upper wall of the passage at the free end thereof, and said arm has a part downwardly concaved just under and outwardly beyond the roller to form an end hook having a continuous pressing face of transversely continuous straight cross section and a part upwardly forwardly inclined a distance approximately equal to the circumference of the cross section of the coil to be bound, and provided at the free end with a pair of guide ears and a serrated blade therebetween. l

Tape drawn from the roll through the passage and under the roller may be guided to the teeth to be cut off thereby leaving the free end portion of the tape over said pressing face, whereby said free end may be pressed under the -coil to be taped and allow the free end to be pressed and held partly around the coil, whereupon the tool may be pulled from the held coil to pull out enough tape to complete the band around the coil whereupon the teeth may sever the tape to allow the band around the coil to be completed by hand.

In the accompanying drawing showing, by way of example, one of many possible embodiments of the invention,

Fig. 1 is a fragmental perspective view showing the tool used for binding coils on a reel or coller;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the tool with tape therein;

Fig. 3 shows a section on the line 3--3 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is a fragmental plan showing the end hook;

Fig. 5 shows a transverse section of the hook;

Fig. 6 shows a section taken on the line 6--6 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 7 is a longitudinal vertical section through the end of the hook; and

Figs. 8, 9 and 10 are fragmental side elevations showing the steps in the method of binding a coil shown in section.

My improved tape applying tool Ill is particularly efficient for putting bands II (Fig. 10) of pressure sensitive adhesive tape I2 around electric power machine coils I4, said tool being especially efficient and convenient for applying said bands II to elongated coils I4 while still disposed on the winding reel or coiler I5 (Fig. 1) which in winding operation revolves on a shaft I6 and is provided with parallel rounds I'I provided with grooves I8 which hold the coils I4 as they are wound.

While the coils are still close together on the` reel and not yet cut apart as shown by the connecting wire I9, it is diicult to bind them by hand, as heretofore and my improved tape applying tool obviates this difficulty.

As shown in the drawing, my improved tape applying tool comprising a hollow disk-shaped magazine 20 (Figs. 2 and 3) having one complete at wall 2| having thereon a central cylindrical post 22 to receive a roll 23 of tape I2 adhesive on the inner face 24. A segmental opposite wall 25 at the upper part of the magazine loosely engages and holds the tape on the post 22.

A hollow substantially radial arm 26 open at its free end and at the inner end joining and communicating with the magazine 20 has a longitudinal passage 21 therethrough receiving tape I2 drawn from the roll 23. A small Wire loop 28 having inturned ends pivotally received in alined apertures in the upper part of the magazine substantially parallel to the axis of the magazine, has an elongated upper part 3l parallel to said axis for holding the tool suspended by a strap on the operators neck at the proper position and angle for use.

The upper and lower part of said tool is divided by a plane 32 parting parallel to the axis of the magazine and extending along the upper part of the passage of the arm, and just below the segmental wall 25 and just above the upper side of the post 22, to form upper and lower sections 33, 34 of the arm, magazine and tool. A hinge 35 at said plane on the peripheral wall of the magazine most remote from arm has its hinge members secured to said upper and lower sections respectively for hinging said upper and lower sections, for movement apart, to expose said passage 21 for threading the tape therein, and vfor moving said segmental wall far enough away from the post 22 to allow a new roll 23 of tape to be placed on the post. A substantially U-shaped clip 36 (Figs. 2 and 6) having its yokepart 31 secured by a screw 38 to the lower face of the lower section of the arm near the free end thereof has upper spring arms 39 having intermediate upper cam parts inwardly curved t0- ward each other to form cams engaging the upper arm section 33 to hold it in closed position and to allow it to yieldably move to and from said position as shown by the dottedlines of Fig. 2.

The free end of the upper arm section 33 alined apertured spaced ears 40 (Figs. 2 and 4) extending slightly below the plane of parting and spaced apart a distance greater than the width of the tape, one ear having the outer part oi its aperture countersunk as at 4I, the other aperture being threaded as at 42. A screw spindle 43 (Fig. 5) in said'aperture has a head 44 in the countersink and a threaded portion engaged with the threads of the other aperture.

An elongated roller 46 on said spindle 43 loosely engaging said ears is provided with a series of annular grooves disposed around the roller forming therebetween raised annular ridges 41 to engage the adhesive upper face of the tape I2 and guide the tape without much adhesion of the roller to the tape.

The lower arm section is downwardly concaved as at 43 (Fig. 2) just under and outwardly beyond the roller 41 to form an end hooi: 5S having a continuous pressing face 5I o transversely continuous straight cross section having a part at and near the roller extending lower than the roller, and an upwardly inclined part 52 extending a distance approximately equal to the circumference of the cross section of the coil I4 to be bound, to a position above the plane 32 of parting, extended, and provided at the free end with a transversely elongated shallow end notch 53 (Fig. 4) a little longer than the tape is wide and forming a pair of guide ears 54 at the ends of the notch.

The guide ears 54 and the free end portion of the hook are provided with a thin deep siit (Fig. rI) extending from side to side between and substantially parallel to their upper and lower faces and receiving a serrated blade E5 crimped in said slit and having sharp teeth 51 between the guide ears projecting less far than the ears, whereby7 tape I2 drawn from under the roller 45 vprovided with a pair of axially transversely may be disposed between said guide ears 54 and thereby guided to the sharp teeth and pulled against the teeth 51 to be cut off, thereby leaving the free end portion 58 (Fig. 8) of the tape disposed over and against said pressing face 5I. whereby the tool may be, by hand, positioned with said portion 58 of the tape on the pressing iace 5I transversely under the coil I4 to be taped with the coil adjacent to the roller and said portion 58 pressed up by said pressing face 5I to the coil, to adhere the tape to the coil, and allow the iree end of the tape to be pressed and held by the operators fingers partly around the coil as in Fig. 9, whereupon while said free end of the tape is thus held, the tool may be pulled from the held coil to pull out enough tape, as at 59 (Fig. l0) beyond the teeth 51, to complete a band il of tape around the coil, whereupon the teeth 51 may be pushed upwardly against the tape, as in Fig. 7 to sever the tape, as at the right of Fig, 10, to allow the band around the coil to be completed by hand as at the left of Fig. 10, leaving the tool with the tape positioned in the hook, as in Figs. 2 and 8, ready for another operation.

The passage 21 receives the tape from the roll with the adhesive up, whereby the unadhesive face of the tape may engage the inner end oi the lower wall of the passage. The ridges 41 of the roller extend below the plane of upper wall of the passage 21r at the free end thereof, whereby the adhesive faceof the tape is guided out of contact with said upper wall.

The coil I4 to be bound may be placed across the face 5I and positioned against the roller 46 at a point remote from the end of the hook and the serrated blade 5S in position to cut off the amount of tape 58, Fig. 8 for starting the next operation.
